Minibridge – hand with trumps #4
Important info before you get started
Who is declarer?
The points around the table are:
North – 8
East – 6
South – 18
West – 8
Which makes East and West the defenders, North the dummy, and South (you!) the declarer.
Tricks and trumps?
According to the ‘minibridge trick table‘, with 26 points together you require 9 or more tricks to make your contract.
Your side, however, has an 8 card fit in spades, so it is beneficial for you to choose them as trumps.
Choosing a trump suit makes your trick target one higher, but it is worth it because having a trump suit will usually benefit you by more than one trick.
–
You are the declarer, needing 10 or more tricks with spades as trumps.
Good luck!
